Trouble Shooter Vintage is the sequel to the original Trouble Shooter on Genesis, the game improved in its many cutscenes and an effort on the story segment, featuring its two goofy, jetpack-wearing combat operatives: Madison and Crystal. The game plays like an improved version of Forgotten Worlds, its soundtrack is stellar, and graphics feature expressive character portraits, lovely environments using multi-layered parallax scrolling. The game's bosses and enemies are very bizarre and resemble Japanese Yōkai monsters, some of the bosses are equally eccentric, mainly featuring a demon-headed train or a basketball-playing robot.
